Does London have as much atmosphere as it used to have?

London has never been that friendly and has always had crime.

What about the atmosphere of the city? Is it still special?

It’s subject to the same hydrodynamic escape as anywhere else.

Climate change. As the atmosphere heats up it expands so becomes thinner.

It's all the hot air parliament produces

 

[ElizabethofYork]

It used to be full of people doing the Lambeff Walk, and scoffing jellied eels. It just aint the same any more.

Your kids could play in the street, and the prettier ones might get a ride a in a TV celeb's big fancy car.

Unlike the people of Judea, we didn't even get a proper sewage system from them bloody Romans and had to wait until the 1860s for one.

London was absolutely fucking brilliant in the 90s and 00s. Nothing to do with the fact that I was in my 20s/30s back then, having lots of fun

London is fucking shit right now. Nothing to do with the fact that I'm in my 50s and don't really go out like I used to and everyone looks like they're 12 years old and when they look at me they think I'm old

London was briefly brilliant again around 2012, nothing to do with the fact that I had just come out of the closet and was discovering all the LGBT+ stuff for the first time, and I had just left my wife too.

 

[girasol]

Oh, yeah, London was fucking brilliant in the Summer of 2012! The Olympic Games did make London feel super friendly and fun.

The OP poster needs banning
But London atmosphere is the nicest it's ever been IMO, and post COVID working changes a massive part of that. Friendliest it's ever been IME

i worked through it - helping people find their way to events via the transport system, and other problems they might need help with. And then in the evenings I was edging my way out of the closet. Was a pretty good year.

Where o where is the smog of the coalfired chimneys, the gentle glow of the gaslights on Bow Street, the caressing miasma of sewage in the river, the delicious aerial bath of tobacco & TB in the pubs, the gorgeous tang of leaded fuel fumes from vintage vehicles. How terrible modern life is, how void of fun.
